Irritable Bowel Syndrome: What is the best treatment?

Hypnotherapy is not only a treatment of stress, it is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Although in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, there is no abnormality of the gut, it is very distressing to the individual who has it. It is the commonest gastrointestinal illness and affects as much as 20% of the global population. It is the most common condition seen by Gastroentologist. It is a heavy burden on Health Professionals and Health Providers. Industry loses billions annually from absenteeism and the sufferer can be in discomfort for many years.

There are numerous treatments available for Irritable Bowel Syndrome but the treatment that produces the best long term benefits is hypnotherapy. Most experts think this type of treatment should be reserved for severe or refractory IBS. If fact it works better in newly diagnosed IBS.

If you know how hypnotherapy works, you will understand why it is so effective in the treatment of IBS. When fully awake, your brain is at Beta brainwave state. During the trance state the hypnotherapist tries to drop the brainwave down to Theta.

When you are at Theta brainwave state, you are hyper-suggestible. In other words what ever the hypnotist says is likely to reach the Subconscious Mind because the filters that block contrary information is relaxed. In addition in Theta state, the hypnotherapist has access to the reality generator of REM sleep. In the Theta state, visualisation becomes very very powerful. In the REM state, dreams occur and visualisation during REM sleep is no different from a dream. At the time it is very real. In REM state the brain cannot differentiate what is real or just imagination.

Visualisation and post hypnotic suggestions in Theta State in very effective. In Theta state, the hypnotherapist can gradually replace all the layers of negative information and replace them with positive ones. The benefits only result after there is change in belief, perception and expectation of your IBS. Relapse after hypnotherapy develops when doubts creep into the mind of the IBS sufferer. Once the subject believes the symptoms are returning, it is like a green light for it to return.

As long as the subject continue to believe that he or she is in total control, the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome will stay away. Go against the experts and have hypnotherapy at the easriest opportunity. It is more difficult to treat a well established IBS sufferer with symptoms lasting several years. In refractory or severe IBS patients it could take more than 12 session of hypnotherapy and home self hypnosis to produce satisfactory results. In numerous cases, however, the results are outstanding.

It is clear that whatever explanation experts can offer, the simplest one is that the hypnotherapist is replacing negative with positive in the Subconscious Mind. Does it not makes sense, therefore, to have hypnotherapy as soon as you can?
